Summary edit

Description
English: Sgt. Donald Miller, a drill instructor with Platoon 3000, Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, commands recruits to prepare safety equipment Nov. 4, 2013, before pugil stick training on Parris Island, S.C. Bayonet training is part of the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, which combines hand-to-hand combat skills with mental discipline and character development to help transform recruits into physically and morally sound warriors. Recruits fight with pugil sticks, which represent rifles with fixed bayonets, to simulate a close encounter with an enemy. Pugil stick training became a regular part of the recruit training curriculum in 1956. Miller, 27, from Nacogdoches, Texas, is one of a handful of instructors responsible for ensuring the safety of recruits during the matches. Mike Company is scheduled to graduate Jan. 17, 2014. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 20,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 13 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 50 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Caitlin Brink)
